c. B. KilmeF, right Of way agent
Of the Santa Fe, came in from Topeka
last Monday, and started out over
the line between here and Solomon.
In conversation with him, he said
that while the contract for building
the line had not been let positively,
yet II was promised, and would un-
dOubtedly be let in q very few days.
He said they would have TO make q
few changes In the line between here
and solomon, and just a. soon as they
could make those changes, and get
the map back from Topeka, work
would be commenced In earnest.
For the benefit Of the few who are
still somewhat doubtful In regard to
the road, we will say that Mr.. Kill
mer assured US that the line would
be built, and he had not the shadow
Of a doubt but that the Santa Fe
trains would be running into Saiina
within sixty days, unless something
unlocked for should take place to in
terfere. His engineers are now busy
locating the line, and as stated above,
making a few changes. where It Is
necessary. Salina need have no
fears In regard to the Santa Fe, for
il Is coming, notwithstanding the
many diseOuraging circumstances
that have &C times arisen, and made
its arrival in Salinaappear doubtful.

The following call has been made
for n fireman's convention to he held
in Junction City, August -:
SOLOMON CITY, KAs., July q, 1887
To the volunteer firemen Of Kan
sas:-Brethren: Who can behold
and contemplate the marvellous de-
velOpment Of our glorious young
commonwealth, the rapid growth Of
her industries, her schools, her
churches and her civil Institutions
without being lost In wOndeB and
admiration? Yet many Of these in
dustries are i'm their infancy. StTug-
Cling as they are to attain the front
rank Of efficiency in their peculiar
line OF public service, they need the
stimulus of united action and the
fostering Influences OF concerted en-
deayOr. Our protective OrganiZa-
tons certainly claim the greatest de-
gree Of public interest and consider
alton. for Il Is by these that our In
dustries, our property, our lives are
protected from the ravages Of foreign
invasion, intenecine tumult, riot, OF
worse than these, fire and flood.
This circular refers particularly to
the volunteer fire service Of the
state and respectfully present for
your consideration the question Of
organizing q volunteer firelmans ASSOC
citation. IL Is almost unnecessary to
mention to firemen the benefits
resulting from such an association
but few might be cited:
IL would vastly enhance the eff
cheney Of our service through the
beIieiits resulting from united action.
IL would secure for US such lrisis-
lative enactments - will promote
the interests ofthe service. WiscOn-
sin, for instance, has q statute grant
ing to fireman in service at fires q
small percentage Of the insurance
policies.
Il would stimulate the interest IN
the service by holding state tOurna-
ments under association rules. An
element Of pleasure u q necessary
factor In the growth Of all vOlun-
other benefits will naturally present
themselves 10 you.

o'clock prompt Saturday afternoon,
and proved to be one Of no little in
terest. Abilene won the toss and
went to the bat first. The game up
to the sixth inning was very much
a One-sided affair, the score standing
Us To in favor of Salina. AT this
point Of the game all interest had
gone The Abilenes went to bat for
the sixth time, ami pounded the
hall for 5 tallies before the side was
put out, the seventh inning being
almost repetition Of the sixth, the
Abilenes scoring six runs more; but
here the Abilenes dropped and
could not find the ball any more.
The Salinas played faultless game
up to the sixth inning, but here the
boys got careless and let the Abilenes
run in : tallies. In tile seventh in-
ming they had not quite recovered
vet, the result was that Abilene
Jailed up six more runs; but here
the boys got down and played ball,
shutting the Abilenes completely out
the next two innings. The Salinas
scored 3 in the first inning, made
in the second, pounded the leather
for i'm the third aud found the
ball again for the same number in
the fourth; here they eased up but
made one tally in 'the fifth. The
next three innings they added six
more TO their score, putting the
score up TO - for Salina and Is for
Abilene, thereby winning the game
with one inning to play. The fol-
lowing is the score by innings:
